Start at the Grande Terre car park, situated between Anse des Salines and Anse à Prunes, in Sainte-Anne. From the village of Sainte-Anne, take the D9 towards Salines beach. Once at the beach, take the track on the left. Pass the Pointe des Salines and head for the car park near a picnic area.
(S/E) Continue along the track towards the east, through scrubland, and follow Anse à Prunes at a distance. When the terrain opens up, look out for a bridge slightly to the right that spans the river flowing from the Étang des Salines.
(1) Cross the river. N.B. In January 2023, this required wading through the water. Only attempt the crossing if you are certain the water level is low enough! Continue eastwards, keeping close to the coast. Pass Anse de l’Écluse and then Anse Braham to reach Pointe d’Enfer (beautiful view).
(2) Head north, staying more or less close to the coast.
(3) The path veers north-east and runs along the beach at Anse Trabaud. Continue to the end of the cove or stop earlier on the beach, as you please.
(4) Retrace your steps to the south-western end of the beach.
(3) Do not take the path you took on the way there, which stays close to the coast, but take a path that branches off to the right, keeping to the foot of Morne des Pétrifications.
(5) Continue south-west through the Savane des Pétrifications. Reach the bridge you crossed on the way out.
(1) Cross the bridge, walk along Anse à Prunes and return to the starting point (S/E).
